There is a Home Office 2024 package of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint from Microsoft for £120

ONEHUNDREDANDTWENTYPOUNDS?!!

How is it different to this: https://softwaresupply.net/product/microsoft-office-2024-professional-plus-for-windows/

I think the softwaresupply one is slightly more 'risky' (so some say) and MS may pull the plug on it but for £15 as opposed to £120, personally I would risk it.

I bought two 'risky' ones off eBay in 2019 and 2020 and both are still running fine.

Your choice!

Can someone please add a link to the last thread about cheap MS product keys so that we don't have the same tedious ding-dong about legitimacy or otherwise again?

£15! I normally pay about £2-£3.

This is from Microsoft:

• If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit.
• If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen.
• The best way to get everything you expect up front is to buy genuine Microsoft software preinstalled on a new PC or genuine Microsoft software from an authorized reseller.

That seems the perfect solution, JB - thank you.

Office 2024 for around £15. With support for 2016 seemingly ending this year, that's an added reason.

Soooo, unless anyone says "NNOOOO!", I'm going for that :-)

Thanks everyone - fab stuff.

Use FRESH20 to get 20% off.

Ifs, buts and maybes

Mine did work for activation in 2019 and hasn't yet been blocked.

I paid my money and took my choice

I, too, was thinking that, if you are going for an option like that, it may as well be a cheap one.
